Hi,

I have created an installer project in Visual Studio 2019 and added my program (TrackManager) to it. I added the installer url and placed the setup.exe and SetupTrackManager.msi file both in the download folder on the website. Both files can be downloaded individually without any problem and I can run and install the SetupTrackManager.msi file without issues.

When I start the Setup.exe file it is supposed to download the msi file and run it, but that is where it goes wrong. I get the error:

Downloading 'SetupTrackManager.msi' from 'trackmanager.nl/downloads/SetupTrackManager.msi' to ''

It appears it tries to download the file to an empty target, which of course does not exist. I cannot find any setting that allows me to specify the target nor have I found any prerequisite for this that I missed. I have not signed the app yet, which gives an warning when installing, but I don't see how that should be of any influence.

A tip in the right direction would be much appreciated.
